A Little Scandal Connected With
the Dead Actors Divorce.
When the first Mrs. John T. Raymond
sued her husband for divorce some tes-
timony of an interesting character was
taken before the referee bearing upon
the peculiarities and tender affinities of
the dead actor. Lawyer Horace Graves,
of Brooklyn, who was referee in the
case, carefully guarded the story as told
him in his official capacity until yester-
day, when he made public the nara
tive which he had so long kept to him
self.
1t appears that some years ago, when
Mr.. Raymond was playing in England,
Mr.. Graves was appointed by the court
to go to New Jersey to take the
testimony of Marie Theresa Soule.
AT HOboken Mr.. Graves met a
woman detective, who told him she had
been engaged by Mrs. Raymond to go to
England and watch her husband, whom
she suspected of being unfaithful to
her. The detective, who was pOrtly,
handsome woman, attended all Ray
mOnd'S performances in England, and
finally obtained an introduction to him.
when Raymond returned to America
the detective took passage on the same
steamship, dllu So GUllSUeQ Ills COlD-
dence that he communicated to her
many incidents of his life. He told her
of having met Marie Theresa Soule at
Chicago, and of his bringing her to New
York. This was the very woman in the
case for whom the detective was search
ing, and whose whereabouts she subse-
quently succeeded in locating. Upon
arriving at their destination,
small hotel several miles
from the railway station, at which Mr..
Graves and the fair detective got out,
the lawyer was shown into a room,
where he found Miss Soule, beautiful
woman of twenty-three years, lying in
bed suffering from pneumonia. She
willingly gave her testimony. The I'M
fortunate girl, who died a week after,
said she was the daughter of wealthy
merchant of San Francisco. Falling in
love with her fathers young partner,
they ran away to Chicago. Raymond
appeared in that city and she lived with
him in gorgeous style until they had a
quarrel. Then they separated, but she
met him once or twice afterward in New
York. On his return Mr.. Graves said
he went to the city court and handed up
his testimony to the judge, who APP
proved the findings, sealed up the testi-
mony and granted a decree of absolute
divorce to Mrs. Raymond.

Two summer ball dresses are shown
here in the picture. One has a fully
gathered skirt and back drapery of
white yelling. The skirt is trimmed
with three rows of antique pink velvet,
the sash and corslet being of the same.
There are full sleeves and a fichu of the
skirt material, and a knot of velvet on
the shoulders. The second gown has a
draped skirt and full front, with tulle
capOte to match the gown, adorned with
red flowers. The bodices are at mod
est medium between high and low.
There is a story that Lady Burdett-
Coutts wears a filmy silk covering over
her neck and arms to hide the wrinkles
of age. Nonsense! No fleshing could
be drawn so tightly that the movement
of the arms would not disarrange it and
make it apparent. On very swell oc-
casion, when rOya ty graced ST. Georges
church, London, it is related that old
lady Coutts was helped out of her car
riage and carefully put together in the
side aisle of the edifice berore tri-
umphal march down the center. The
ancient dame was covered with long
gloves, bracelets, and clean dozen
necklaces of diamonds and pearls, that
encircled her skinny throat. No; it is a
mistake about the silken skin.

tiOning, but the girls are in the newest
sorts of summer toilets, made of fOulard
silk of the sort that looks like simple
calico until near approach diScloses
costlier fabric. The silk mostly in de-
mand just now is China silk, which is in
all the fashionable shades, both for
evening and street wear. Yet these
stripes apparently are not so popular as
they were on account of being so per-
fectly initiated in imported sateenS,
from which they are hard to distinguish,
except upon close examination. Silk
dresses should be of soft weaving, and
it may be put down as rule that these
should be made simply. Beauty can
stand this, and uglineSS can stand moth
ing else. One Lady Harberton-mind-
full of these rules, doubtless has en-
deavOred to introduce in London society
most revolutionary movement. Lady
HarbertOn possibly means well, and yet
| think she goes to the extreme, as does
her friend Mrs. Oscar Wilde. [ would
not like to say that these eStimable la
dies wee bent mainly on making money
out of the gullible British public, for
that would sound Spiteful. But it GER
tainly looks like it. In summer silks,
bengaline in stripes, plaidS and plain
coloringS, and sicilinnes in stripes of
primrose pink, blue or green, alternat-
ing with vines and sprays of flowers on
cream grounds, are very fashionable.
TuSsOres in the natural or ecru color
ings are shown in the stores in rather
wide and floral brOcaded stripes; also,
some very beautiful effects in mOires
with Zig-Zag stripes. Observe the hats.
Their shapes and trimmings are in the
latest styles. Hats of chip. covered
with pleatings and pnffs of gauzy stuffs'
generally muslin, are now made quite
gay, with punches of field flowers tied
together carelessly on the front of the
crown. Among the most dressy forms
Of ladies' headwear Leghorn hats, with
brims turned up in graceful curves and
lilacS and rosebuds, seem for the time
being to take the lead. The most styl-
ish appear to be in shirred crepe and
lace.

NEW PARASOLS,

The women under the parasols that
day soon discovered that something was
wrong about that stuff. AS Mrs. B.
took a sOuse up and dOwn-she was n OF

surrounding her the water took on
varied colOrS.

''Squat down in the water" screamed
one.
''Fetch an umbrella"
'WhO's drowning?" sung out ''Dun-
can De Witt de Wolf" the swell man of
the party, dashing in among them.
You can't imagine what an excitement
there was. Every one on shore leveled
their glasses and every one in the water
swan up. There was Billings all but
melting into pulp. De Witt de Wolf
ran up to the bath houses and got one
of the old blue jeans things they rent
for 25 cents to the men, and came back
with il, land poor Mrs. Billings otinto into
and scuttled out of the water as soon as
she could. Gobs of that Japanese dress
were washed ashore, and most every one

EVENTIDE.

Slowly the golden sun sinks down
Ger sleepy village aud quiet town;
The young birds fiutter in downy nest,
Like tired babes on mothers breast
Up from the pastures sweet with hay
The cattle slowly wend their way,
Through shadowy lanes the children stray,
Reluctantly they leave their play.
The moonlight falls on land and sea,
On desert, plain, across the lea,
On humble cot or palace walls,
Gently its silvery radiance tails.
On the evening air rich music swells.
TITS the silvery notes of the evening bells;
Now soft and low, now loud and clear
The bells ring out good cheer, good cheer.
o, eventide, blest eventide,
When we shall lay our cares aside,
When weary feet no more shall roam,
And we may dwell in peace at home.

The number of nickels swallowed by
the five-cent weighing machines
throughout the country is enormous.
Strangely enough, the inventor, an
Englishman named Percival Everitt, is
making money out of his clever device
for collecting the small change of the
community. A company, of which
Erastus Wiman is president, has charge
of the machine, and Everitt receives a
good royalty on every sale.

Bathing garments are seasonal ae for
consideration by everybody who intends
a trip to the lakes or the seashOre. Every
year beautiful suits are designed, and
few novelties are worn, but as rule the
simple blOuSeS, loose trousers and shad-
ing straw hats are most used. The pic
ture gives an idea of about the best that
can be practically done in the way of
natty bathing toilets. AS a warning
let me write the story of Mrs. Bill
ings." She was dawdling around st.
Paul store last spring, and she bought
some remnants of odd stuffs to use for
draperieS. Among them was some
queer stamped cloth. 1t was dismal
green, with crimson flowers on it. Mrs.
b. was rather esthetic, and she took the
idea that bathing suit of this would be
chic. She had it made with paints cut
up deep, and finished with red and
green wOrsted balls. 1t was foreign
looking dress, and Billings was Just
pleased. She went ON a trip to the
Eastern watering places, and at Atlanic
City first took water in that remarkable
rig. A group of her feminine friends
sat under parasOls on the sand watching
the bathers.
New parasOls, by the way, are uncom-
mOuly ornamental this summer, and, as
to colors, some of them rival the rain
bows for variegated hues.

LII LIE GIRlsS COSIU MES
Little girls are jauntily costumed for
the summer. Mothers indulge their
fancies, with only distant obedience to
the promulgated laws of fashion, in de-
vising dresses for their childish daugh-
ters. AS to the materials, transparent
French muslins seem the most desira-
BILE. Tho shop keepers exhibit straw
berried, laurel blooms, sweet brier roses
and foliage, arbutus blossoms and half
opened buds scattered ON vari-colored
grounds. The back grounds are gen.
orally in pale tints, tea rose OF primrose
yellow being favorite shade. Bright
cOlOred fruits and flowers also look very
well against a background of olive, pale
golden brown or moss green. In these
goods, Gifted, dotted stuffs of late have
also become SO fashionable that even
pieces Of underwear are made of fine
muslins and linens, dotted all over with
red, blue or lilac spots, and sometimes
all three of these cOlOrS.
